About this study

Official title: An Open Label Pilot Study Evaluating Preliminary Safety and Performance of the GeNO Nitrosyl Delivery System

This is an open label phase 2 pilot study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and device performance of the GeNO nitrosyl delivery system during right heart catheterization (RHC) in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). All participants will receive inhaled nitric oxide in oxygen or nitric oxide in air delivered by nasal cannula. Hemodynamics, clinical laboratory and clinical assessment data will be collected on all participants to evaluate safety.

Read the detailed description

TREATMENT/FOLLOW-UP:

Participants meeting eligibility criteria will receive open label nitric oxide at 80 ppm via a nasal cannula. Hemodynamic clinical laboratory and clinical assessment data will be collected at baseline, after 15 minutes of inhaled nitric oxide administration, post RHC procedure and at hospital discharge. Day 5 +/- 3 post RHC, telephone contact to assess general health status.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence and Severity of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events; Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects and Changes From Baseline to End-of-study in Clinical Lab Parameters and Vital Signs.

    Adverse Event Severity [through Day 30 Follow-Up Period]

    Unanticipated Device Effects: any system malfunction, damage or NO2 threshold monitor alarms [through discharge from Treatment Period]

    Laboratory Tests: Hematology (CBC with differential), Chemistry (glucose, BUN, creatinine, sodium, potassium, carbon dioxide, creatinine kinase), Activated Clotting Test or Prothrombin Time, arterial blood gas, and methemoglobin.

    [through discharge from Treatment Period]

    Vital Signs: pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate [through discharge from Treatment Period]

    Measured: through Day 30 Follow-up Period

  2. Adequacy of Device Design and Suitability of the Instructions for Use by the Clinician Using a Device Performance Evaluation

    Measured: through Treatment Period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nitric Oxide generated by the GeNO nitrosyl delivery system in people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, run by Geno LLC at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jun 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence and Severity of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events; Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects and Changes From Baseline to End-of-study in Clinical Lab Parameters and Vital Signs. (time frame: through Day 30 Follow-up Period). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jun 2013.
